What this trial studies
This study aims to enhance the ability of primary care professionals to identify individuals exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) through three different interventions. Participants will be randomized to use either a standardized questionnaire, tailored virtual patients for training, or a combination of both. The effectiveness of these interventions will be assessed by measuring the identification rates of IPV victims before and after the interventions, along with qualitative feedback from healthcare professionals. The project will take place over three years across various primary care settings, including health centers and youth clinics.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve the identification and support of victims of intimate partner violence in primary care settings.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using standardized screening tools and training interventions to improve the identification of IPV, suggesting that this approach has potential.
